I have searched the forums and cant seem to find an answer. I have noticed that when i run games and programs under wine its only useing 1 core. While when i run native Linux apps they use both cores. Also the games and programs that i am running under wine use both cores when run under windows. Is this a bug, or maybe just something i dont have setup correcly on my computer.
Computer specs.
4600+ AMD dual core.
2gig RAM
160gig sata II HD
Geforce 8800GT video card.
Ubuntu 8.04
It works the same way on an Intel Mac, which is good when a program
decides that it 'needs' all of one of the cores. I've had problems with
Windows on a Dual Core appearing like it was locked up. Got the Task
Manager to run and one process was consuming 99% of the CPU.
I hope that Wine can be rewritten to use n-1 cores, which will leave at
least one core 'open' in case of a runaway process.
